Wednesday!

a long, long review please =P

curiouspeter · 11-21-2010, 05:29 PM

Yes, a review please. I may get the 55-300 soon because the kit lens is not long enough. But if the 18-135 is good I may get that instead.

Klaus at Photozone has bought a K-5 and DA18-135, he is awaiting delivery. He might have a review up before the end of the year or he may not!

This is exactly what I was hoping for. I have high hopes for the 18-135, and there's no one I'd rather see test it. It's about time we get to see Photozone test Pentax lenses on a more resolving body than the K10D.

I don't think he will retest though.

Any chance for a comparison between this one and the 18-250?

looking forward hugely to it, with many thanks

I'll give the edge to the DA 18-135 in speed and IQ. It is quit heavy but it sure feels like a Pro lens. and it looks great on the K-5.
